SOLAR Power Inverter USER'S MANUAL
SAFETY SUMMARY
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Someone should always be within range of your voice or close enough to come to
your aid when you work near a lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin,
clothing or eyes. Protective eyewear should always be worn when working near lead-
acid batteries.
If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water. If acid
enters eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at least 10 minutes and
get medical attention immediately.
Be extra cautious to reduce risk of dropping a metal tool onto battery. It might spark
or short circuit battery or other electrical part that may cause explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches when
working with a lead-acid battery. A lead-acid battery can produce a short-circuit
current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal causing a severe burn.
NEVER connect your SOLAR power inverter to a frozen battery.
While some of our smaller units are designed to plug into a 12 Volt vehicle outlet,
larger models must be properly connected to a battery. Extreme care must be taken to
follow all applicable codes when working with electricity.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never open the inverter case – severe shock hazard!
Your power inverter is designed to operate from a 12 Volt DC power source only.
NEVER attempt to connect your SOLAR power inverter to any other power source,
including any AC power source.
Your power inverter is designed to be connected to the 12 Volt power source using
the connection cables provided. Do not attempt to modify the provided connection
cables or use other means of connecting to the 12 Volt power source.
Do not operate the SOLAR power inverter in the vicinity of flammables, such as
gasoline, etc. Do not operate the inverter in areas where fumes or gases may
accumulate, such as battery compartments.
Do not operate the power inverter if you, the inverter, the device being powered or any
other surfaces that may come into contact with the 12 Volt power source are wet. Do
not expose your power inverter to rain or moisture.
Keep your SOLAR power inverter well ventilated when in operation. When in use,
maintain several inches of clearance around the top and sides of the power inverter.
Avoid placing the power inverter near sources of heat, such as heat vents and
radiators, or in direct sunlight.
Loose connections can result in a severe decrease in voltage, may may cause damage
to the wires and insulation in the power inverter. Always check that all connections are
correct and secure prior to powering the inverter or any device connected to it.
